three wars of ilene

ilene, you are the last of your kind -
bringing a beautiful name across the
ontario plains and through three wars

the first was fought when you were young
and slain grandparents loved each other,
writing in passion and writing often.

the second was fought when you were old
enough to know haste, and a heart it belongs to
it belongs to ideals, and boys, and dead ranks

the third was after your time -
you saw husbands pass, and children grow
eyes closed as you were set in the ground

ilene, you are the last of your kind -
leaving a beautiful name in three wars
